Video file streamming Question

[programming.name]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to stream wide range of video file types like avi, mov, mpg, etc.?

 

What I want to do is to allow users to upload any video files on the server and like wmv extension, I want other file types (especially mpg or mpeg extension) to be played as soon as the page loads. I am running my own server, and so if any server setting is required, I have full control of the server and I have already done with file uploading thing. I only need to implement video file streamming.

 

Thanks.

Just replace Video_Name.mpg with your video name

 

You can also convert uploaded video to flv (Flash) and stream it like video sharing sites. which is widely preferred.
